Summer 2019 transfer thread

Is this a good window:

In - Ndombele, Clarke (loan), Lo Celso, Sessegnon
Out - Trippier, Rose, Eriksen, Toby

If not, what needs to be done still?

If we sign Eriksen to a new deal then to me its a great window even if Toby leaves and we don't bring in a RB/LB. I also think one transfer either in or out will pick up steam the last week that isn't being widely reported now which may impact the window significantly.

That would be a fucking catastrophe

You can’t have Rose, Tripps and Toby all leave and replace them with Sessegnon! But I don’t see that happening in any case.

Know one has yet moved for Toby and it looks like Eriksen might be staying so if that happens yes with Ndombele, Sessegnon and Lo Celso it’s a very good window.

No, it would be a very poor window. Patently.

I can't say this enough. Ndombele fills the Dembele hole, that brings us to par. You've then let five first-teamers go (you forgot Llorente) and brought in one ready-to-go first-teamer (you hope, he may need time to adapt) and one replacement for Rose who (a) isn't nearly as good a defender and (b) is still very young and will need to learn.

So by my calculation we'd be -2.5, and once again relying on players staying fit, not getting tired, having to play out of position, not losing form...

Ceteris paribus but with Toby staying

I much rather lose him for free next year than selling him for 25 million now and not having a replacement in place

 

[RealCoolYid]

We’ve just paid 10m for an 18yo with much less senior minutes under his belt.

Difference is he’s fully grown

I think this shit is amusing and creates a bit of chatter. That's why i stick them on here for your dissection!

All those ITKs are fucking weirdos.

What amazes me is the whole team of players we have who have passed a medical at our club but never been announced! ochfacepalm:

 

[Spaniel]

Ohhhh fuck......I don't even know

Agreed, thats fucking n'sulting to the player.

On current form and ability it would be Winks losing out

You're not too popular at the moment....

+Moura and Llorente would make it -0.5 if we are doing weird one for one personnel calculations. Llorente may still re-sign from all reports, which would make sense IMO.

Its interesting because I think Poch is going to roll with Foyth/KWP/Aurier at RB and Davies/Sessegnon/KWP at LB. And everyone on here is freaking out about it so it should be interesting.

I think our back 4 would be weaker, but our midfield will be stronger. I supposed I'd give it a B+. Maybe I'm in the minority but if we bring in Lo Celso with Ndombele, then I'd rather we sign Toby to an extension and sell Eriksen. (I'd prefer to keep both, but that doesn't look likely).

For me it all comes down to the back 4. Can they step up?

 

[Radical Rei]

Please levy sign a right back

A right back you say?

Why of course I'll sign another midfielder.

 

[Spaniel]

Wasn't a handball. Wash your mouth

I'm fact Mane played for a penalty clearly and the ref made a criminally bad decision. Sissoko is 100% blameless.

Ceteris paribus?

Don't make me google shit.

And I agree that Toby is staying and I don't think losing him for nothing is as big a deal as some are making it out to be considering his market appears to be about £15m at most at the moment. If Eriksen and Toby stay and we don't buy a RB/LB I think Poch will need to put his money where his mouth is because that's a big risk/hope that he can develop those positions more or less overnight. But it may be a risk worth taking considering the midfield cover will be much better.

"Everything else the same" I'm sorry but I have to find some way to make my 6 years of Latin studies pay off ochbye:

Don't know why you bother Arcspace is by far the dumbest poster on this forum, using common sense with him is about as much use as a water-proof tea bag ... save your breath

He's why the ignore button was created ... recommend you apply it forthwith

I enjoy Arc. At least his posts get the forum active even if most of us disagree. We need a stirrer!!!

 

[r-u-s-x]

I can't say this enough. Ndombele fills the Dembele hole, that brings us to par.

Didn't Sissoko fill that hole bearing in mind his performances compared to previous years (he was like a new player ) and Skipp, whoever or no one replaces pre-last year Sissoko as at times playing no one would have been beneficial. Dembele was replaced, pre god mode Sissoko wasn't.

That's how I see it anyway.

 

[Spaniel]

Who would you play 6 then?

I thought Dav was.

Isn't this a bit of a myth. I've heard him speak spanish before. his accent was appalling but his grammar wasn't too bad

I heard it. Spanish with a Welsh accent. El Taffio!
